In science and technology studies, entanglement is a means for knowing the world better. Entanglement and nonlinear thinking allow us to ask: If people breathe shit, might they be more or less affected by soda? Can the stress people experience from police violence be mitigated through protective social density? How might the vast transformation in the post-NAFTA and War on Drugs food landscape, along with increased body mass, affect Bisphenol A uptake? How might these changes change the actual composition of the chemicals, bodies, or economic policies? Entanglement could allow us to ask: why is Juan prediabetic when he does not drink soda?

As we shift our efforts to loop and entangle phenomena amid the uncertainty, however, we need to notice the effects of leaving linearity behind. Boundaries and linear models might constitute a necessary response in places where life must always be lived as improvised and ceaselessly entangled, and where objects (like water) are never stabilized apart from their relations (

). For many of the world’s inhabitants, the entanglement of everything with everything proves relentlessly exhausting. Indeed, I am pretty sure that the residents of Colonia Periférico would like to share in the privilege of inhabiting a world of objects that can be experienced as bounded from the relations that make them, a world, for example, with reliable drinking water, formal-sector work, and a civil police force. With the goal of knowing the world better, then, science and technology studies might complicate celebratory calls for the uncertainty of entanglement, or for staying with the trouble, by taking into account not only the (often quantitative) practices that make boundaries but also what those boundaries have to offer. In this way, we can avoid celebrations of breathing shit without dismissing the densely social lifeworlds that persist in its inhalation.

Both Dr. Arias and Señora Nati seek boundaries instead of constant entanglement. Dr. Arias is not betting on life conditions getting better in Mexico, so she wants to understand how to prevent the penetration of individual kids as a matter of survival. Within the world she inhabits, Colonia Periférico is the kind of environment to which children must become resilient—impermeable to chaos, drugs, and soda. For Señora Nati, however, persistence entails land, her neighborhood, where bodily permeability to toxicity prevents territorial penetration. Soda gets inside. Spray paint gets inside. Bacteria get inside—a fecal transplant that (in a fun-house mirror image of the Cold War immune system) prevents the penetration of foreign invaders (
Martin 1994
). Porosity to drugs, soda, and shit stabilizes the borders of Colonia Periférico against Mexico in this time of NAFTA and the War on Drugs. The stink is the price paid: the stink of a life lived in a dense, gut-shaped labyrinth that you miss while staying at your son’s empty house in the green and lonely grid of Portland.

Eating healthy is one of my personal challenges. I have not only a large appetite and a major sweet tooth, but when it comes to choosing something healthy over something unhealthy, I’ll most likely be choosing the latter. With swimsuit season here though, eating healthy is rapidly becoming a top priority. Like mostwomen, my schedule is jam-packed, so thinking ahead and preparing a healthy lunch or dinner is as great a challenge as choosing to eat healthy. When I do plan ahead and cut up fruits or vegetables, it is never enough to sustain my appetite for the day, which leads to my mid-afternoon overdose on chocolate, popcorn or vending machine snacks. One way to combat this? Premade salads, and we’re not talking about the ones you premake at home. Here is a roundup of the best premade salads in town that are healthy, will keep you full and, most importantly, are
so
delicious.

It should also be no­ticed that the gath­ered in­for­ma­tion was al­ways in­cluded from pub­lic sources, such as com­pa­nies' gov­ern­ing bod­ies avail­able on­line, com­pa­nies' pub­lic re­ports, news from the on­line press and pub­lic résumés. This re­sulted in more than 130 gath­ered politi­cians and more than 350 com­pa­nies that are still being added to the sys­tem as we con­clude our re­search. Al­though this data is only a sam­ple of the real di­men­sion of traf­fic be­tween com­pa­nies and gov­ern­ments in Por­tu­gal, it is in­deed highly il­lus­tra­tive of the sub­ject.
